[Warded to Sophomores]
Pros of Regular Prom

Less likely to get in trouble for breaking school rules

Less likely to find yourself trapped in an endless nightmarescape

Less likely to die of starvation and exposure

The theme is kind of cool

It's at a freaking gothic mansion

Pros of Anti-Prom

You could become the thrall of a fantastic mystical creature that, even if it's actually hideous, will make you believe it's beautiful.

It's more dangerous so technically more cool.

Outdoor dances are more romantic, I think.

When you die, you're pretty much guaranteed to be famous assuming they don't just cover all this up.

When you account for the possibility of drowning or contracting ebola, starvation and exposure aren't that bad in comparison.

The Masque of Red Death definitely took place in a mansion and not a forest.

I hope this helps everyone's decision-making process.

Which one are you going to??

If I go to any party, it'll be prom.

GOOD!! I thought EVERYONE was going to prom but now like no one is.

I suppose we haven't done a very good job of being enticing, if nobody's interested.

Don't say that!! I think the theme is SUPER FUN and I've loved all the dances so far this year!!

Do you have a date??

No, it's not enough. We'll need something on the level of "chocolate fountain" to get people to come to this dance.

I don't.

Chocolate fountain charmed red??? I thought everyone was super into all of the (just pretend) MURDER stuff.

Okay, I have way less people on this list than I thought I would, but what about Lucas??

That's not a bad idea. Maybe you should take your sister's crown next year.

Yes, Lucas. Aren't you just dying to go to prom with me?

A match made in heaven, but I've already promised myself to an intangible concept. I'll save you a dance.

Oh, no. I'm heartbroken.

Okay well the only other name I have on my list right now is Sam.

I'm not going with Samantha.

What are you even talking about?? You should totally go with Ari.

But only seniors can-- OH. You mean Event Committee?? I never joined because of Mina, but it does seem like fun??

I'm not sure I'll have time for it next year, but if you or Jade were in charge I'd give it a thought.

I'm really hoping to make the QUIDDITCH team so I don't know if I will either?? And I don't know if I really inherited all of Mina's YELLING and PLANNING skills. But I bet Jade would be GREAT at taking over for Mina!!!

I'll be running the newspaper by myself, since Asher and Anuhea are both graduating.

Oh my gosh, really??? That's SUPER COOL!!! Does that mean you want to be a REPORTER when you graduate???

I haven't thought about it.

What kind of stuff do you think you'll write about?? Asher writes about [...] talking to cats and stuff!!

Well, I can't do that. But if next year is as eventful as this one has been, I doubt I'll be hurting for topics.
